" Wow, what can I say? My expectations were high, and Palmitos delivered! My burrito had massive flavor and a good balance of ingredients. The portion sizes were worth the price, and the staff's friendliness made the visit feel very welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" The elote was fantastic and definitely worth trying! Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my order of carne asada tacos. They lacked seasoning and came out cold, which really detracted from the overall experience. The staff were friendly, but I expected a little more attention to detail. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. I tried the chicken enchiladas, and although they were good, they weren't memorable. The service was friendly, but I felt like I was waiting too long for my order. It’s not bad, but I’ve definitely had better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Palmitos expecting great food after hearing so much buzz. While the tacos were decent, I found them to be bland. I appreciated the generous portion size, but the lack of authenticity in flavors was disappointing. The service staff was polite but not very attentive, which took away from the experience. Overall, not bad but not what I had hoped for. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here during lunch rush and I was impressed with how quickly we received our food. The carne asada fries were a hit at our table. Absolutely delicious! The flavors packed a punch and the size was just right. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first meal at Palmitos and I was thoroughly impressed! The tacos were authentic, and the flavors were vibrant. I also loved their fresh salsa and the way they serve it with every dish. The ambiance was relaxed, perfect for families and friends. I will definitely be making this a regular stop! " (*Curated Review*)

" Palmitos has been around for a while, and it's easy to see why. The tacos are flavorful and the portions are generous. I especially enjoy their salsa bar where you can mix and match flavors to your heart's content. Service-wise, they are usually quick, but sometimes they seem overwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)
